■Electromagnetic waves
●High-voltage parts and cables on the battery electric vehicles incorporate electro-magnetic shielding, and there-
fore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline-powered vehi-
cles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-
ference in some third party-produced radio parts.
■Traction battery (Lithium-ion bat-tery)
The traction battery has a limited service life.
The traction battery capacity (the ability
to store energy) reduces with time and use in the same way as other recharge-able batteries. The extent at which
capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (outside temperature, etc.) and usage conditions,
such as how the vehicle is driven and how the traction battery is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of lithium-
ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. Also, even though the driving range decreases when the traction battery
capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse. In order to reduce the possibility of the
capacity reducing, follow the directions listed on P.119, “Capacity reduction of the traction battery”.
■Starting the EV system in an
extremely cold environment
When the traction battery is extremely cold (below approximately -30°C [-
22°F]) due to the temperature outside of
the vehicle, it may not be possible to start the EV system. In this case, try to
start the EV system again after the tem- perature of the traction battery increases due to the outside temperature increas-
ing, etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis- sions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■High-voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-tem.
DC and AC high voltage systems are very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that
may result in death or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove, or replace the high voltage parts,
cables (orange) or their connectors.
●The EV system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-
ture, and always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

2-1. Electric vehicle system
Electric Vehicle system
A value for which a sufficient level
of driving performance can be pro-
vided is estimated based on the
remaining charge of the traction
battery, the state of the traction bat-
tery, the outside temperature, etc.,
and is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. ( P.172)
When the outside temperature is
low, the traction battery output may
be decreased, causing the possible
driving distance to be shorter. How-
ever, this is not a malfunction.
Charge the traction battery earlier
than usual.
Possible driving distance varies sig-
nificantly depending on how the
vehicle is driven, road conditions,
the weather, the outside tempera-
ture, usage conditions of electrical
components and the number of
occupants.
Possible driving distance could be
extended if the followings are per-
formed:
 Maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front and avoid unnec-
essary acceleration and deceler-
ation
 Accelerate and decelerate the
vehicle as smoothly as possible
 Drive at moderate speeds as
much as possible and maintain a
constant speed
 Set the air conditioning system to
a moderate temperature and
avoid using the heating and cool-
ing functions excessively.
 Use tires of the specified size
and maintain the specified tire
pressure
 Do not add unnecessary weight
to the vehicle
The followings indicate that
charging has been carried out prop-
erly.
 The charging indicator turns off
 “Charging complete” is displayed
on the multi-information display
when a door is opened while the
power switch is off. ( P.117)
Regardless of the type of power
source or whether the charging
schedule function is used, charging
is completed if the above can be

2-2. Charging
■AC charging (P.121)
This is a charging method used
when charging from an AC socket
with the AC charging cable or
charging that uses AC charger.
By setting charging schedule, it is also
possible to charge at the desired date
and time. ( P.134)
■DC charging (P.129)
This charging method uses a DC
charger that complies with IEC
61851 and IEC 62196. The traction
battery can be charged in a shorter
time than AC charging.
IEC is an abbreviation for an inter-
national standard established by
the International Electrotechnical
Commission.
■Solar charging system*
( P.148)
*: If equipped
In certain conditions, when the
vehicle is parked, the traction bat-
tery can be charged by using elec-
tricity generated by the solar panel
equipped to the roof of the vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with sev-
eral functions that are linked with
charging.
■My Room Mode ( P.145)
When the charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle, electrical
components such as the air condi-
tioning system and audio system
can be used by the power supply
from an external power source*.
*: Depending on the situation, electricity
of the traction battery may be con-
sumed.
■Traction battery heater
When the outside temperature is
low and the charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle, this function
automatically warms the traction
battery until it reaches or exceeds a
certain temperature.
 The operation of this function is
stopped automatically when the
charging cable is disconnected
or if the charging cable is left
connected to the vehicle for
approximately 3 days.
 When the charging schedule is
used ( P.134), this function will
operate according to the sched-
ule settings.
